Jan 02,1999

At the New Year's Greeting with the Speaker, the Supreme Court Justice, and the Prime Minister in attendance, President Kim said on January 2, 'Korean people eagerly want reform of the political structure which is plagued by high-cost and low efficiency. The ruling and opposition parties should cooperate to perform political reform.'
Kim expressed his firm intention for political reform. He, especially, said to the representatives of the United Liberal Democrats (ULD) including Park Tae Jun, the president of the ULD, 'There were several controversial problems with the ULD but cooperation is needed at this moment.'
Kim added, 'All countries are making every effort to make their industries knowledge-based ones. Koreans should pay close attention to this point.'
